Yeah, they really do; thanks! Appears you still have the original deck springs (though only one) which attach to that bar. A comment on Rodney's site says that to install his strut/brace on a Mera you must remove the original springs. As I have Rodney's struts, Paul V must have removed the bar when he installed them.
There has been a lot of Mera sales activities on the web--that's been good for me--but probably only because of hard economic times.

Did Meras have both decklid springs when they were assembled or just one?

This is a real Mera that has been modified. The VIN is correct and it is a real Mera.

Gents, you are in the midst of a celebrity...sort of. LOL...I never thought they would post my car, otherwise I would have written a better article. But there it is, in the RockAuto Nov Newsletter:
http://www.rockauto.com/Newsletter/index.html
Rick, I have that bracket-to-spring thingy on both sides of my Mera.
Dan, I was referring to my car. I've never seen a regular Fiero with my interior.
Open question: The large rear vent on the rear lid...what color is yours? I want to re-finish mine, currently its a charcoal gray color, but due to weathering, chips, etc, it looks bad close-up. In pictures of other Mera's, that rear vent looks jet black. Not sure what the original color should be.

They were originally anodized black and over time faded to the silvery color. Many paint them black. If you have a black Mera they look better the silvery black color.
